Personal:

Served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints from July 2015-July 2017.  I gained 30 lbs. during the service and came back out of shape; however I knew that if the Lord wanted me to once again run competitively, he would bless me to return to fitness. 

I graduated from Sky View High School in Smithfield, Utah. I currently run for Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah.

       Weather was amazing, I ate lunch today.  Didn't feel that sick, only had to blow my nose a few times today.  I had to get 5 miles fast for the first time in a while.  Ran hard, and pushed myself, especially on the last mile.  Did a 5:28 average, my goal was to get 5:30 or under, so I'm happy.  I think I'm ready for the Simplot.

     Did a warm up on the track, then did another with Jerrel after the track closed.  Get ready for the race, and went to the starting line.  I was in the first heat with Dallin Farnsworth, Jerrel Mock, and Ben Sarrel.  I wasn't even planning on getting in the front ever during it, but nobody started a fast pace after the first lap or two, so I went out in front and led the race for a few laps.  Dallin and Ben I think just wanted to qualify, and then kick it at the race Saturday.  Later they both passed me and Finished 8 seconds ahead of me.  At the end I didn't see anyone behind my on the big screen, so I stopped at the finish, and was passed by someone who beat me by .14 seconds.  How sad, but that was just the preliminaries.  I qualified, and so did Jerrel, while he was sick, he didn't think he was going to, but he still did.

      Did a warm up by myself, stretched and got ready.  I was sooo nervous, and I think that messed me up.  I was hoping to get a PR, but didn't make it.  We started out and I tried keeping up with the pack, but lost it after the first mile(4:45) and slowed down because I didn't have anyone to pace with.  I think I could've pushed it a lot at the second mile, but I just didn't becuase I couldn't catch up to anyone to help me keep a good pace, and I couldn't keep a good pace without someone else.  At the second to last lap Dallin Farnsworth was going to lap me, or getting close, so I went in the second lane to not get in his way, he was shooting for the Meet Record, and he didn't pass me.  I later got paced by someone and outsprinted them at the last 60 meters, which I'm surprised about, by .05 seconds.
